Even after telling T3Fun exactly what to do to fix this lost feature, they still fail to make this simple fix after the recent maintenance... Whatever. You can get the file here instead. This file is first made available by Laguna, and is meant for the game clients of American servers.

This is NOT an official patch. Do NOT post in the official GE forum or website.

HOW TO USEClose the game client, if it is still running.Download ge_skillrangeoption.zip file - [FileSplat] or [MediaFire].Extract the .zip file into Granado Espada\ge folder. Back up original first, if desired.Start the game client.Enable Show Skill Range in Game Options (Alt+O) window in-game.
If you want to do it yourself instead of downloading the file, simply create a new file called options.xml with the following content:

Imperial Wheel S (Japan) has been updated for Dec 25, 2013 to Jan 03, 2014. See GMマドリンの『新アイテム』紹介ブログ！ for GM's introduction and screenshots. Yes, Montoro's Ring is now available directly for cash too... Why raid at all?

This is a private, client-side modification of Barrel's models... among other minor things. This is made for American servers, and not tested on other servers. This will be available only during the Christmas season, and may be removed shortly after. If you encounter any issues, leave a comment on this blog post.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Updated two more UI skins. Cario skin was originally designed by ZeraST (aka Ryght) during v3.0 update in G1 servers. Alice Blue skin has been around longer still, although someone later updated the character information panel with the paw print image... Click on the sample screenshots below for full-size views.

And apparently, they removed Cresemento Weapons from the game. This reminds me of the old GE Europe which removed Jack from the game to prevent botting... Somethings are in the game for a reason. When the publisher randomly removes them, it will likely cause problems later on, either with respect to game balance or quest requirements... The statement eurogamez gave here:

It's true that Cres saves people's time much but....losing too much things... As you Fans r…

Imperial Wheel S (Japan) has been released for Dec 13-18, 2013. This early release probably means there will be another one for Christmas... maybe Snowflake Cherlyn? And there you have it. Strata Devil Accessories are now available directly for cash gamblers...

A new blog page has been added for user interface (UI) skins. The old classic skins have also been updated for v20.10.24 (current version for Singapore servers). These include:Classic Rough (aka SK1) was the default skin design used in v2.0 game client. Classic Polish (aka SK2) was basically a polished up, glossy version of Classic Rough (SK1) skin. Classic Empire (aka SK3) was the default skin design used in v3.0 update, which added Errac, the third civilization. Classic Black (aka SK Black) was an old custom skin that was around since v2.x.Renaissance is the current default skin design used since v5.0 Renaissance update. This pack is for using as a base to design your own skin, and for filling up any missing files of partial skins (if needed).
In addition, Catrina skin and Black 2.1 skin are also updated for v20.10.24, which mostly involves a new icon in button.bmp file. I will update and post more skins later, including Ink, Rose, Dark Reaper, etc.

This mission, also called Joaquin Underground Prison, was first introduced in v5.0 along with Valeria. The featured loot is [Innocentio] stance book and the 3 recipes for the monster weapons unique to this raid.

Likewise, IAHGames also updated Singapore servers to v20.10.24 (X-Trap 6800). There is Combat/Stance EXP +100% boost until Dec 05, 2013. Links to related articles will be added when they become available.

Imperial Wheel S (Japan) has been updated for November 2013. The top prizes are now a set of end-game items... Unlike previous releases, the end date for this month's casino is not specified (labeled as "???"). It seems like they want to milk the players more as well. See GMラバトの『新アイテム』紹介ブログ！ for GM's introduction.

This mission is required for Family Attribute Quests. The unique loot is Recipe - Will/Hope of Argus, which grants INT/STR +10. The enhanced recipes are available in Magia/Vent Pioneer Merchant Shop at Rank B and above.

A note about map names... The dungeon is by default named Gigante (meaning "giant"). If you follow Sedecram scenario quests, Baron Igorni will talk about giants who lived there in the past. Of course, there is the giant head in Sedecram (Tierra Putrefacta) itself. So Interna/Corazon/Cabeza de Gigante prefers to the innards, heart, and brain of the giant... while Heavenly Sedecram dungeon map represents the giant's lungs.

The "Bahia" nonsense comes from IAHGames' attempt to unnecessarily rename Gigante Island to Bahia Island. As a result of Find - Replace All function, all references to giants (gigante) become bahia, which makes the names nonsensical... T3Fun pretty much ripped off IAH translations when the servers were first launched, so the…

Elizabeth in Kielce (K9) wants you to sell her painting in Coimbra. This is one of the daily quests to increase Kielce Merchant Favor. Sometimes, her painting is so bad that they enrage people to become Super Saiyan.

The end result is the same, even if you stay alive to the end. Notice she is selling the same damn painting everyday? She just ripped the painting from Dr. Torsche's Mansion to pass off as her own. No wonder the scoundrels are tired of her crap.

A new publisher will be opening its GE servers for Europe region, after the failed service by RNTS on August 01, 2013. See End of GE Europe for details. The new GE Europe Facebook says on Oct 24, 2013:
Granado Espada Official European Service will be re-launched by EuroGamez GmbH. EuroGamez said that they will launch the English version very soon and the German version and French version will be followed early of next year.
The teaser site is now online at http://granadoespada.eu/teaser/. The font for Coming soon... looks nice. Anyone knows the font name?

The teaser video features scenes from Bristia 2-2 and Bristia 2-3, so the game version will probably be v19.15 or later. The teaser artwork package can be downloaded here, including 20 large (1200 px) .JPG files.

Interestingly, they actually have a Join Translation Project (German). I hope this means they won't have "Wild Wild Wild Wild Boar" in the game. Will Catherine still be a gangbanger in this version? They plan…

If you are doing this mission within your faction, it is recommended to do with the minimum number of people (12), if possible. This way, the entire faction can have enough people for multiple runs per week, maximizing the drops for the entire faction.

Baron Igorni wants you to clear the swamp of mutant honeycombs. After meeting Sierra with her Witch's Hat, she left the house. Leonora asks you to follow her to the Swamp of Peril. After saving Sierra from Royal Honeycomb, she reveals that the honeycombs do not come from the swamp area. She gives you a jewel called Spirit of Forest and asks you to meet her in the Swamp of Peril.

The Forest Guardian appears and stops you from going further, despite Sierra's pleas. Royal Honeycomb attacks, but you push pass it and confront Nena. Sierra explains that the P…

For so long, there has been no new content (merely revisions of existing content) added to the game. Milking via Lyndon Boxes was the only thing... Now, IMC has finally released a new area... and it's a pathetic one-map release in v20.13.37 (test server).

Bahamar Prophet's Forest
Bahamar Prophet's Forest is essentially like Bristia Scar, with escalating monster levels that will spawn the boss, going up to Lv.150. When the boss appears, the monsters drop Old Chess Pieces and Snail Shells, which nobody really cares about these days. The new map can be reached via Bahamar Swamp of Peril (H1). There is also a mini-boss that respawns in 12 hours (?).

Seriously, when was the last time anyone has seen Lv.150 Breeze? Nobody seriously bothers with it shortly after Breeze was released... The reason is probably the fact that Elite Bristia Weapon Recipe drop rate is too abysmally low. Since Prophet's Forest follows the same design pattern, players really shouldn't expect too mu…

T3Fun is again having Rosa's Summer Event, but with different event rewards this time. I don't think there's an official notice about the event, so thanks to Eollica for sharing this in the forums here. The event quests seem to be the same as before, starting with 1 Small Watermelon Slice, etc.

The following are some highlights of upcoming patches for T3Fun servers (currently v19.45.02) up to v20.03.13. The patch notes are based on Korean live servers (not test server). There is barely anything new, really. Just more revisions of one type or other... and of course, player-milking Lyndon Box.

Also, according to the Face Book entry here, Selene will be coming soon in the next Kaching Box Lyndon Box (Korea). What did you expect? Of course, you have to gamble for her. You should know IMC's milking strategy better by now!

This is one of the four weekly raid missions introduced in v10.7.0. The unique loot in this mission is Recipe - Charisma of Reydeavaricia (aka Charisma of Rich King), which is a earring with innate SEN +10. This is useful for summoners, like Viki and Catherine. The enhanced recipe is available in Magia Pioneer Merchant Shop at Rank B and above.

A few events for T3Fun server... You decide for yourself if they are really worthwhile. Rose Spirit is of course in Lyndon Box.

LUCKY CRYSTAL HOGGEREvent Period: Oct 11-18, 2013

The following guide is originally posted by Ryght family of Orpesia (G1) server in 2009. I'm re-posting his guide here since his site STNWSource is long dead. The guide is old, and somewhat out-dated. Nevertheless, it is still useful for people who want to try messing around with the game client UI skin.
